UPDATE: Annapolis Police Department released the following information:

Police are investigating multiple reports of destruction of property after gunfire early this morning in Annapolis. On April 17th at 4:11 a.m. officers responded to the area of President Street and Park Avenue for multiple callers reporting shots fired. Upon arrival no suspects or victims were found, but several vehicles and homes were struck by bullets.

Two homes in the area and seven vehicles were struck by bullets. An apartment in the 900 block of President Street was struck, but no one inside was injured. A home in the 1000 block of Park Avenue was struck, but no one inside was injured. Seven unoccupied vehicles parked in the 900 block of President Street were struck by bullets. Officers searched the area and located evidence, but did not locate any sign that anyone was struck during the gunfire.

Detectives are investigating this incident and anyone with information is urged to contact them at 410-260-3439.

Early this morning (approximately 415am) much of Eastport was awakened by 30 or more gunshots. The shots seemed to have originated near the Harbor House public housing community. Neighbors reported hearing more than 30 shots and an immediate police presence in the community yet no victims have apparently been found.

One local resident discovered a bullet hole in her living room wall and found that her home had been hit by three bullets.

The Annapolis Police Department has not released any official information on this incident; however from neighbors, officers believe it was a “running gunfight” between two individuals. We will update as more is known.

The Harbor House and Eastport Terrace communities have been recently plagued with violence and gunfire. The City has said that they will take steps to curb it, yet any success seems elusive.
